Ryan Sweeney

Ryan Sweeney is the type of player I quietly respect more than most stars. An outfielder from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, he suited up for the White Sox, Athletics, Red Sox and Cubs, and that itinerary tells its own story: four organizations kept finding a use for him. He was never the marquee name, but there is a steadiness to a player teams keep wanting around, the kind who tightens the defense and makes a clubhouse better. Climbing from an Iowa high school to a durable big-league career takes grit. I trust the dependable professional over the fleeting headline every time.
